I'm not very familiar with Bosch dishwashers, but is it possible it could be detergent residue that has accumulated there but can't dry out? Does the substance have a smell? That's the first thing that comes to mind.
Another that comes to mind is: Do you or have you had house guests that tried using the machine and possibly mistook the JetDry compartment for the detergent dispenser and possibly poured liquid detergent there? Years ago my parents bought a portable GE Nautilus dishwasher, and my dad bought all manner of detergents and tablets and such to try, including green apple scented Jet Dry, which I still cannot find to this day, as well as Cascade Plastic Booster, which came in a squeeze tube and was a smooth white gel/paste. My mom, having no experience with dishwashers whatsoever, squeezed that tube of plastic booster into the JetDry reservoir until it was full. Needless to say, that was my first experience taking the door of a brand new dishwasher apart to clean out the rinse aid dispenser right off the bat. Not saying this applies, but was just something I thought of while racking my brain for ideas. Good luck. :) |

It doesn't smell that I can tell. We only have Finish Tabs for detergent, so unless someone crushed the tab to pour it into a hole it doesn't fit in, that doesn't seem likely. I guess someone could have put some dawn detergent that we use for hand washing into the dishwasher. |

It was a little greasy feeling, not sudsy. I finally ran an empty express wash with the jet dry door open, rather than closed and it seemed to wash away the "cream" so I could add the rinse agent. Assuming I remember this if it happens again, that's a simple enough solution. |
